Local Environmental Conditions
This site in Buddong is surrounded mainly by woodland, which covers around 94% of the nearby area. Running water nearby means riverside vegetation is part of the local pollen picture. With this much woodland around, trees are an important local pollen source. Grasses also feature strongly, alongside plantain among the weeds.
Tree pollen comes first, peaking in mid-spring. Then come the grasses, strongest in late spring and fading by early fall. Plantain brings a final peak from mid-spring into early fall. Spring is the wettest time of year, and heavy showers can bring short breaks in pollen. By early winter, as temperatures fall to around 5°C, pollen levels are low again.

Does pollen in Buddong come from nearby or far away?

A good pollen forecast therefore depends on accurately representing local vegetation. Pollen can travel long distances, but this usually matters only early in the season or during specific wind events.
Are pollen levels in Buddong based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Buddong, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.

Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
